This steam locomotive sits just North of the stadium where the Baseball College World Series is being played, it's the first in the line of old Union Pacific equipment they bring each year to this great city event.

It's running .....and it smells quite bad.

It's hot ......enjoy the games on ESPN, look for us on the first base side Friday....no cameras allowed.

Thanks to the club for the fun time tuesday.

Thanks for the comments yesterday, .....it did good at 500 px as well.

Doing some HDR Husker stuff too......

Image was devoid of color, parking lot is gravel after just raining and the sky was overcast, black fences. Single image to NIK Silver effects pro then to HDR, distorted by false lens set up in Lightroom.

Face Fall resides in Reynolds County Missouri in the town of Centerville at the Reed Springs Mill property, the Gristmill is just to the right of this image. This gristmill has a replica of it on display in the Smithsonian Museum in our Nations Capitol.

The poorest county in Arkansas this little town comes alive in the water season. Many of the float trips down the Buffalo National River roll thru here. It was too cold to camp and too noisy to sleep....in all we stopped by six gristmills and did a few waterfalls as well.

Everything was just starting to bloom there.....lots of color, its snowing out here today with forty knot winds.....onward to Summer!

Omaha Marina sits at the bottom of the ramp, you can park the boat and wander up to the regional headquarters of the National Park Service or stroll across the bridge to nowhere.

This was the old lead smelter site....just behind is the bridge to Iowa from downtown Omaha

The good life....Nebraska, 16 degrees here last night....the Robins are out in full force this morning and tonight will be our last night below freezing as the temps slowly rise and Spring forces the Crocus out of the freezing earth.

Devoid of any natural color our world starts to thaw and color will slowly return to Omaha. Soon the tractors will be in the fields planting the seasons crops.

A remake of the area we covered near Mc Clintoch Falls Wisconsin this past fall.....reprocessed in Lightroom 4.
A recomposition as well, I didn't really have the time back then to do processing, Spring and Fall are both event packed for me.

A Dad crop......you like it better this way, no need to look at the other one.

Out on the Old Lincoln Highway halfway to Ames Iowa you can still see the remnants of the old barnsteads from another era. Most are torn down or in such disrepair they are just a pile of rubble, the two dryers on the left were used this year as the summer was so hot.

Gotta love the checkerboard pattern on the top of these......crop duster avoidance system of the day.

So i've been archiving it the last few weeks trying to take care of all that stuff you put off till the day you must do it....my image "Stockade Lake North" I did four days ago reached the top twenty of all time for me.....so taking a look back and reprocessing with the new processes available and your better processing skills is sure worth the time, plus I'm writing more as well for the book.

Loon Lake Wisconsin at the end of the Fall foliage change. Although this was great color and scenery it was far short of what we saw throughout the State. Each year we take a tour of the State and travel the best sites we have found over the past ten years. We are gone up to two weeks on this trip with camping mostly in the Wisconsin wilderness though most areas are quite accessible as a day trip then to town at night.....we just love sitting next to the fire and scrolling through the Images we spent the day collecting.

Camping in the rain....not so much fun....somehow it makes life much better when your home in your comfy bed.

Spring foliage change is just around the corner here and north.....Nisha and Paul must have flowers by now.
